When the playwright is Paul Rudnick, expectations are geared for a play both hilarious and smart, and The New Century is no exception. It is a provocative and outrageous comedy, featuring a collection of hilarious characters. In Pride and Joy, Helene is a Long Island matron, the self-proclaimed "most loving mother of all time" to her three gay children, whom she brags about at the Massapequa chapter of Parents of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, The Transgendered, The Questioning, The Curious, The Creatively Concerned, and Others. The flamboyant MR.

CHARLES, currently of Palm Beach, is described by Mr. Rudnick as "an aging homosexual hounded out of New York City by younger gay men, who find his theatrical style a threatening throwback to an earlier, tougher time." Mr. Charles spends his exile in the company of the hunky Shane, with whom he produces a cable television show, Too Gay. In Crafty, Barbara Ellen is a Midwestern craftswoman and competitive cake decorator who has lost a son to AIDS. In The New Century, all of these hilarious and poignant people collide under surprising and comical circumstances, providing evidence of just where our new century might be heading.

Jenny just got engaged and she's very very excited although her fiancee doesn't seem to want to help plan the wedding or talk to her. But when a Prince on a unicorn offers Jenny some sexy solace, maybe things will work out ok. "Unicorn Frappe" is a frothy satire about wedding culture, addiction, societal pressure on women, and just how far we will go to avoid the truth.

Opening back in 2017, Cypress Productions seeks to connect to Lexington audiences with artist-driven theatre. Producing new works from emerging playwrights and other thrilling work that has not been seen in our community. See more at cypressproductions.org
